Rangers Raise “Regular season Champions” banner.

HF Sportsbook has been reset for the new season - Click here to play.
A quick Google images search shows that the Avalanche, Blackhawks, Blues, Bruins, Capitals, Flames, Hurricanes, Lightning, Oilers, Panthers, Penguins, Predators, Red Wings, Sabres, Senators, Sharks, and Stars all have banners for Presidents’ Trophy wins.
Given the award was created in 86, and 18 teams have won it, every team that has won it has hung a banner. So people are mostly trying to dunk on the wording that has been used by a franchise in existence for 60 years before the trophy was named, despite it signifying the exact same thing?

Yeah I heard rangers fans broke into msg and held ownership at gun point forcing them to hang the banner. And not just some rangers fans, all of them!

Devil fans haven't said shit about this. Read the thread, none of these posters are Devils fans.
Although, I can see why you'd assume Devil fans would jump at the chance to mock the Rangers, but we haven't done it at all here.

file this one under either “who cares” or “things only loser fans of Rangers rivals care about”
Take your pick on which designation you want to use

Probably done for the not so bright "shooooooot" fans that never heard of the Presidents' Trophy.
Outside of the Denver arena it says "home of the NBA MVP and NHL MVP". I think it's in part because it's nice alignment "we have two MVPs" but in part because casual fans don't know what the Hart Trophy is.
Should have said "best record in the NHL" if they were worried people won't know what the Presidents' Trophy is. What did they call it in 2015?

What does that mean, they lost the AFC championship game?Hey now its not as and as the Colts AFC finalist banner
If they’re giving out banners for that can the Jets get a couple?
The Western Conference has a trophy and the winner is considered the champion of the conference. The presidents trophy doesn't declare them the champion of anything, just the best record in the regular season. The only season champion I know of is the Stanley Cup Champion.

“The Trophy was introduced at the start of the 1985–86 season by the League's Board of Governors to recognize the best team in the regular season, informally known as the regular season championship. Prior to this, the team that finished in first place when the regular season concluded was allowed to hang a banner reading ‘NHL League Champions.’”
Above is from Wikipedia.
Edmonton has an NHL League Champions which makes far less sense.

I don't have a problem with teams, businesses etc, celebrating some wins. There will be all kinds of reminders of how well you are not doing so take the positives where you can.

Looks a lot smarterThe Bruins used to have individual banners for division champs, etc (mostly to compete with all the Celtics championship banners) but have since consolidated it to 1 banner for each non Cup milestone and they list the years
In 93 the Kings raised their Campbell Conference Champions Banner before the 1st game of the Cup home opener. At that moment I knew they would not be getting a Cup banner. I just don't get the big celebrations in any sport unless it's the Championship.

Back to back, and three in 5. Comparing the Rangers/Predators banner foibles to a literal dynasty isn't fair.

Today I learned. Glad it isn't just a Blues thing. Just I guess in my mind I was like "Well yeah they won the Western Conference, they won the Stanley Cup" so I figured it was implied. It wasn't an end of the world thing for me, more just thought it was curious.Detroit did both as well:
